Disney’s D23 Expo 2015 begins today (Friday!) in Anaheim, California, and aside from all the forthcoming news on various Disney-related films and theme parks sure to drop this weekend, this is also a great convention for picking up exclusive collectible items—including a series of amazing screen prints made just for this convention.

There will be several new officially licensed screen print releases from well known artists like Mark Englert, JC Richard, Dave Perillo, Joe Dunn, and many more. The whole spectrum of Disney is covered here: from classic films like Beauty and the Beast andFantasia, to recent theatrical shorts like Paperman andFeast, to this summer’s (dare-I-say) already classic Pixar filmInside Out. The theme parks are represented with a retro style Jungle Cruise print, and—of course—the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens has not one, but two prints available. Below are just some of the beautiful art you’ll be able to purchase at the Expo this weekend.
